Solving Typical eCommerce Duplicate Content Issues

In case there are multiple URLs with identical or very similar content, the canonical meta tag can tell the search engines which URL is the main one.

Running a Magento based store, you need to precisely set the canonical URLs for category, product or CMS pages, canonicalize duplicate content across different domains, avoid content duplication for pages with and without trailing slash, etc.

Creating HTML & XML Sitemaps

Sitemaps allow store owners to inform search engines what pages on their website are available for crawling. Also, they conveniently organize all pages in a hierarchical structure, so visitors can easily navigate through them.

Meta SEO Templates

SEO meta templates let you easily manage large amounts of important meta data for product and category pages.

Having just a list of attributes, you can automatically optimize such important elements of a product/category/blog page as a its name, description, URL, meta title, keywords, category meta description, keywords, alt-tags and dozens more.
